I, Goblin
03:38
|

You wanted to breathe for a moment
Wandered out in the breeze
Exploding with feeling
Seized by the night til it ended
In torment
And the weight of the world sucked you in again
It’s just a pill...
(Everything is just fine, it’s glorious!
Nothing could ever go wrong…)
Not again, goblin!
Not again!

The Wild Hunt
04:01
|

Flooded by flickering blue at the bus stop
Garbage on the ground starts to tremble on the sidewalk
Now I’m all alone, no power on the phone
Something strange in the wind in New Berlin
Fear the Wild Hunt
Don’t look now
‘Cause they’re coming around again
Tenderly they look right at me
I try to look away, but it’s too late
Ground starts to tremble as they rip through the night
There are gods in the ally cracking pavement in the moonlight
The buildings start to shake, and everybody wakes
As the hunt moves into New Berlin
Tenderly, they look right at me
I try to look away, but it’s too late
What a strange procession moving through the avenue
My breath stops short, paralyzed by the view
There’s a warning in their stare, an ominous prayer
As the hunt moves through in New Berlin
Fear the Wild Hunt
Don’t look now
‘Cause they’re coming around again

Her Infinite Jest
04:20
|

very human has a home
I used to have one
Every human has a love
I used to be one
Those memories are cherished
Until they’re all gone
Their choices are their own
Until they have none
I used to be human…
(I am just a passenger
Ascending into lunacy)
I am the night
My arms can pull the ocean wide
And my hands tug at the marrow
Of every living thing
I am the night, I am the tide
I am the light of the moon
I spiral as the night begins to bloom…
I used to be human.

Fathers and lovers make lumbering shadows
(Don’t look away, don’t you look away)
Their frail ambitions can lead to the gallows
But she’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!
A tangle of traps set to mangle her pride
(Don’t look away, don’t you look away)
But scoundrels and monsters cannot break her stride
She’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!
Nothing can stop Ileana…
A skip and a hop in a graceful charade
Dodging the dark with a pas de bourre
She’s not afraid
Oh, Ileana!
Nothing can stop Ileana…

My Lovely Jinn
04:11
|
|||
When I was a boy...
way back in 1983...
...and the television was my holy spirit
It showered me with sitcom moralities...
That were plumed with technicolour commandments:
Get a girl
Get a house
Have a family
And if it all goes wrong?
Do it again.
That... was the televised truth.
The funny thing about truth...
It’s twisty. It’s.... malleable.
It’s as real as a mirage inside of a dream.
One day when the holy spirit wasn’t looking...
...a smoky silhouette approached me
...and I inhaled, desperate for the scent of him.
It was a clandestine moment...
His eyes, like fire...
I wanted to burn.
And the silence cracks
As the angels rage
And the wolves howl
As my lovely jinn sings
I wanted to burn…
I am the flame
You are the heat
Let’s burn together
Inside the beat
